  1. Yeah I can also confirm that FNAC is great. Ordered Fine Line (limited edition), Future Nostalgia (limited picture disc), and Madame X (limited double picture disc) just last month because they had a 20 % discount on vinyl and they literally sent my stuff from France to Austria within two days. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the sudden sale of Number 1 Angel/Pop 2 vinyls is a mistake and orders end up being cancelled.

    Haters gonna hate etc.
  3. jpc.de is amazing, you should definitely add them to the list! They're a bit on the pricy side, but they're super reliable and offer pretty much everything. They'll even import Japanese and other regional versions of some albums (great for collectors who are hunting for bonus tracks), plus sometimes they even have a limited contingent of vinyl that is otherwise exclusive to HMV, Sainsbury's, FNAC etc., which is great because these sometimes don't ship internationally. I got my blue Ray Of Light from jpc, for example. They also offer an "artist alert", so whenever they add a product by an artist you follow, you'll get a notification. Shipping is super cheap within Europe and I believe even beyond.
  4. It seems like the entire record was produced by Oscar Görres, who notably produced Cape God and of course both Take Yourself Home and Easy. I'm really hoping for some more unexpected twists like the Take Yourself Home outro, that one still amazes me.
  5. The cover and overall aesthetic is amazing??? Also, the vinyl seems to come with an exclusive extra track (similar to Bloom's Seventeen (Reprise).
  6. Chile lemme sell my blue Blue Neighbourhood and go on a nice, long holiday!

  8. Can we talk about how everybody talked shit about the Wii U, but somehow it's the ultimate Zelda machine? Like, thanks to remakes, virtual console, and backwards compatibility, you can literally play every single mainline Zelda game except A Link Between Worlds on it? Plus Hyrule Warriors? Like wow, that's talent. Not everybody has that, especially the Switch has a lot of catching up to do in this regard. In conclusion, me and my Wind Waker Edition Wii U remain unbothered. Thank you. Also, not sure if that's an unpopular opinion, but as great as Breath of the Wild may be... I miss the dual-screen gameplay. Like, a lot. The way you had the map and your items on the bottom screen in Ocarina of Time 3D, The Wind Waker HD, A Link Between Worlds, Majora's Mask 3D, and Twilight Princess HD... *chef's kiss* Sooo convenient! Especially since its quite easy to get lost (for me, anyway) to get lost in the huge world of Breath of the Wild, so always having a proper map available would be very useful.
  9. I'm actually not sure about the Switch Lite and Breath of the Wild, I still played it on my beloved Wii U. But I believe the Switch Lite still has that gyroscope that is needed to detect movement, it only lacks the detachable Joy-Cons, so you can't "point" at something like you could with the WiiMote Plus in Skyward Sword. As for the Wii games – I totally understand being frustrated by Twilight Princess since that came out before the Motion Plus update/enhancement for the WiiMote, so it could only – and not very precisely – detect the general direction of movement (which works for games like Wii Sports, but not for Zelda), but no precise movement or "pointing" like it was possible in Skyward Sword with the Motion Plus enhancement/WiiMote Plus.
  10. I'll never understand the hate that the Skyward Sword motion controls get? I absolutely loved them! They worked very well for me, I never really had to recalibrate while playing, and to me they made the gameplay a lot more immersive than "classic" controls. I mean, you swing the WiiMote Plus and Link swings his sword the exact same way? Blew my mind! I was rather disappointed when they went back to button-centred controls afterwards, although at least the gyroscope stayed in the 3DS/Wii U (and Switch) Zelda games. When they bring Skyward Sword to the Switch (it's really not a question of "if", but "when" IMO), I'm afraid they'll remove all motion control functionality. I suppose it would still work with the regular Switch's Joy-Cons, but the game would be unplayable on the Switch Lite. Then again, since so many people seem to dislike that kind of controls, maybe a "classic" version might make them give Skyward Sword another chance. It's probably the most underrated (modern) Zelda game in the entire series.
  11. Wig mine too, we celebrating today!
  12. Yes hello, it is I (again). The Switch Lite is on its way, now I also need a case/carrying bag for whenever I take it somewhere. Unfortunately the "official" ones all look ugly and either super childish or super straight. What kind of cases are y'all using for your Switches? Are there any websites where you can design your own ones? (I definitely want an actual bag and not just one of those plastic shells/skins/whatever you call them.) Alternatively, I've been thinking about just getting a cute makeup bag that has the right measurements from Etsy or something, but I don't know lol. But yeah, please let me know what you guys are using.
  13. I think the entire Electra Heart video campaign was amazing, and way ahead of its time. I mean, Primadonna, Radioactive, Lies, Power & Control... like wow! It's hard to pick one definitive favourite, but it has to be one of these. Probably Radioactive.

    III is a very solid album. Not as strong as The Altar, but great nevertheless. Gimme remains THAT bop. The only things that somewhat bother me are Sawzall (I just don't... get it) and the fact that the album ends with two consecutive stripped back ballads.

    I believe in Propaganda supremacy.
  17. The way you can truly ~create~ your island seems super fun, yup. Not being able to really change anything about my town is something that quite annoyed me in Wild World and New Leaf and made playing a bit of a chore sooner or later. But yeah, I've been wanting to play Link's Awakening since much before they actually announced the Switch remake (and I even get a free A2 poster with it lol), and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is like my favourite video game series and this game's art style is literally the cutest thing ever (the main series could NEVER!), so I simply had to get it first. And yes, if it wasn't for the coral option, I would've refused to buy a Switch and waited for other colour variants skskskks.
  18. Priorities. But Animal Crossing and Super Mario Odyssey are on my list as well.
  19. Hello ladies, guess who just ordered a beautiful coral Switch Lite + Pokémon Mystery Dungeon DX and Link's Awakening? We are finally eating!

    St*pid L*ve exists. It's a great little video and it's obvious that it's mostly just meant to tide us over until Levitating feat. Madonna is ready.
  21. I think that was mostly true for older releases. The Ultraviolence picture disc definitely sounds great (better than the UO version, if you ask me), and I have quite a few other picture discs too that all sound nice. Of course there's bad pressings too, but I think that's usually more of a production/mastering issue.

    Boppppp! Shame it's so short, though.
  23. It happened earlier this year, after The Paradise Edition was gone from all digital platforms for well over a year in some regions including most of Europe. Hopefully Flipside will become widely available too at one point.
